Re: One of the Worst Articles I've Ever Read
I totally agree. A lot of fans & 'experts' want to compare this Offense to last year's O but I think you can realistically (potentially) compare this year to the 2012 O that was ranked 15th (IIRC). The only big piece missing is Boldin, and I think his toughness & 65/921/4 stat line can be duplicated by SSmith. The 2013 O fell apart due to multiple key injuries (Pitta, KO, Rice, Pierce, Yanda) and not properly replacing Birk & Q.

Re: One of the Worst Articles I've Ever Read
He picked the Steelers to take the division, so of course he has to back that up not only by giving reasons why the Steelers will win but also why the other 3 teams, including the Ravens, will lose.
The curious part though is that these are his 6 reasons why the Steelers will win:
1. Run Blocking Could Reach An Elite Level
2. Improved Decision Making Of Ben Roethlisberger
3. Addition Of Big Play Threats Dri Archer and LeGarrette Blount During The Offseason
4. Improved Pass Rush
5. Emmanuel Sanders Easily Replaced
6. AFC North Weaker In 2014
What makes that curious is that you can apply his first 5 reasons (or very similar ones) just as easily to the Ravens as he does to the Steelers. Think about it, and you'll see what I mean.
And the 6th reason isn't even one he can justify with any argument other than "because I said so".

The Steelers might be improved, but I doubt the division is going to be weaker in 2014.

Re: One of the Worst Articles I've Ever Read
Get used to it folks. I do not see any of the national media picking the Ravens to do anything other than go at best 8-8 this season. It's too easy to say Cincinnati has the most talent, and the writers need to throw a bone to all the bandwagon steeler fans out there.
We see the Ravens bouncing back from a tough season. The rest of the world sees too many holes, an "offensive", offensive line, the precipitous decline of our running game, and a quarterback that doesn't produce gaudy enough stats in the fantasy football world that most writers cater to these days.
We are not a team loved by the masses. Get over it.
KEEP the FAITH!! We'll be back this year.

And that is exactly the way I like it. Fly under the radar and drop-kick the rest in the Pair when they are looking at the clouds.
